Zusammenfassung:No large cohort study has yet determined the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in children with heart failure treated with renin–angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors. We thus retrospectively analyzed the incidence and risk factors for severe AKI (stages 2–3 according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines) at our institutions from 2008 to 2011. Among 312 children (162 boys; median age, 7.3 months), 59 cases of AKI occurred in 45 children. The incidence of AKI was 14.3 cases per 100 person-years overall (follow-up 413.6 person-years), or 27.3, 16.8, and 4.5 cases per 100 person-years in children aged
